Purpose: To describe a presentation of painless posterior scleritis. Methods: This study was an interventional case report. An 18-year-old boy was admitted to the authors' clinic with symptoms of low degree of vision and no ocular pain. Ophthalmologic examination, ocular ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), optical coherence tomography (OCT), thoracic radiography, abdominal sonography, and laboratory testing were carried out and the results were evaluated. Results: OCT revealed bilateral exudative retinal detachment. Diffuse bilateral posterior scleral thickening and serous retinal detachment were found in B-scan ultrasonography, suggesting posterior scleritis. Laboratory findings and imaging disclosed no systemic disease. The patient responded to oral prednisolone 60 mg once daily. Conclusions: The case reported here indicates that pain is not always present in posterior scleritis.
